Redhat/Fedora? there is a problem there.
Missing readline isn't a big deal, only used by r.mapcalc I think.
Don't worry about it, just leave off --with-readline.
see  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/1000
/usr/lib (or anything in /etc/ld.co.conf) is default search path.

Build GDAL without GRASS support. This is for when you would like GDAL
to read GRASS maps without actually having GRASS installed. You can
compile the plugin later if needed (eg for QGIS or Mapserver).

GRASS requires fftw 2.x not 3.x, until we have a volunteer to update the
code. see REQUIREMENTS.html.


In general, look at the end of config.log to see what the exact problems
are.
